Wellness programs for adults in Hayward, California

The United Capoeira Association in Hayward, California, is a health institution that offers a dynamic expression of Afro-Brazilian culture through the art form of Capoeira. Located at 22491 Foothill Boulevard, our institution embodies the spirit of community and personal growth, providing a means of liberation from social and personal constraints. Capoeira is a martial art form that combines dance-like elements and music, creating a deceptive yet enjoyable means of personal expression. Our Pre-Capoeira program introduces children ages 3-5 to the cultural art form in an animated and supportive way that is age-appropriate. For children ages 6 and up, our youth program is a great way to build confidence, social skills, coordination, and learn about another culture. We have an energetic group of children who are always ready to make new friends. The first class is free for both programs.
